IINVENTOR ALBERT J. MATTER, OF PORTLAND, OREGON.

S TATIONARY-WASHBOWL CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 20, 1909. Serial No. 513,854.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT J. MATTER, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stationary- Vvashbowl Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.'

This invention relates to improvements in cabinets or screens for stationary wash-bowls and has for its object to provide suitable means for hiding from View the stationary wash-bowls commonly used in offices.

Another object is to provide such a cabi- 15. net which has the appearance of some useful piece of furniture, and which may be easily and quickly opened so as to expose the washbowl for use.

I attain these objects by means of the improvements illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure l is an elevation showing cabinet open. Fig. 2 shows cabinet closed and appearing as a desk.

Like numerals of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several. views.

Referring to the drawings, there is shown in Figsfl and 2 a standing-desk (to all outward appearance) having sides, 2 and 13 O and front l but no back. The top or cover 4 is attached by means of hinges 7 to cross piece 11 which is rigidly attached to'legs 3 and 12. In orderthat legs 3 and 12 may escape contact with base-board 9 and yet allow the cabinet to reach to the wall, extensions 8 are provided for the sides and may be of thinner material thanthe sides 2 and 13 so that they may be cut out to fit any shaped chair rail or molding which may be attached to the wall. Part 5 which is prov'ided with handles 17 and a groove 16 so as to appear as a drawer, is rigidly attached to top or cover 4. If desired a mirror may be provided as shown at 6. I prefer to make the cabinet somewhat wider than the washbowl so as to leave room between the washbowl and the sides of the'oabinet for the reception of'towels which can be hung on red 14 or may be held there by any other. suitable device.

It is understood that slight changes may be made in the specific structure shown with out departing from the spirit of the inven-, tion.

What l' 'claim is;

The combination with astationary wash, bowl attached to the wall of a room, of a removable cabinet arranged to inclose said wash-bowl and comprising two sides and a from all rigidly connected, a cross-piece extending across the tops of the rear portions sides, a cover hinged on said cross-piece, a

"depending-piece rigidly attached to said W. -M. CONKLIN, E, DUFFY.
